KNA revitalizes PAC in advance of November General Election

Posted almost 2 years ago

Watch for the KNA PAC to be reinitiated before the November 8 General Election.
 
We are 89,000 strong and we VOTE. Our legislators did not listen this past session about the dire nursing shortage and our solutions to combat the problem; we need to make sure they hear us in November. Our KNA Leadership including Delanor Manson, MA, BSN, RN, chief executive officer; Donna Meador, MSN, RN, CHPQ (Alumnus), president; Dolores White, DNP, RN, CNE, president elect and Julie Ossege, PhD, FNP-BC, FNAP-FAANP, director-at-large, are in Washington, DC TODAY meeting with Kentucky’s congressional members - well, not all of them.  Rep. Thomas Massie, Kentucky’s 4th District, refused to meet with us. Out of the 89,000 nurses in the Commonwealth, more than 31,000 live in Rep. Massie’s district yet he refused to even hear our requests to discuss what the nursing shortage means, how nurses are burnt out and struggling and what we have been going through for the last two years and what he, our elected official, could do to help us.
 
This isn’t what we need as representation in our legislature. We must speak out and get candidates who support nurses elected! Stay tuned to learn more.
